I admit, I am an ESET NOD32 fanboy. But I do so with the very real understanding that no AV product is 100% perfect. And my loyalties vary from time to time.

But for ESET, I prefer to back the sleeper product that laughs in the face of the big names like Symantec. Laughs at their bloat, runs circles around them for performance, and runs on any Windows OS that I've ever used, without needing to buy a new subscription or "upgrade".

And "that's not all", in the famous words of Billy Mays (RIP, Billy). ESET has been in the business longer than the new names like Kaspersky, and just as long as companies like Grisoft and Alwil (1991-1992).

Did you know that NOD32 is written in assembly language? That's the next language level up from binary, and hence why the core of NOD32 is so darn fast and lightweight.

Fun that they are - the ads are spin upon spin - sad day when a great, expensive ad sells a product when a better product fails because of no advertising budget.

Ciphernemo's very interesting post with history and the explanation about the use of assembly language is, to me, much more enticing - as it actually points to a reason why I might want to use the software.

None of this of course indicates how well Eset-NOD (or any other AV proggie) actually finds malware/virii/rootkits. I know Eset has been consistently near the top of the pile, but even the independant tests are all over the place!

Nod32 vs Eset Smart SecurityI bet this question has been asked before many times, but do i really need to pay the extra buck for eset smart security firewall?
Is windows 7 firewall enough?
I paid a full year license for avast internet security and im fed up with their firewall.

eset smart securityutorrent downloads is very slow, and when disabling the personal firewall it goes up. I cant figure out what filtering mode to use..utorrent says a firewall/router is limiting your network traffic you need to open up a port so others can connect to you.
